RECIPE BACKSTORY

During World War I, the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the Australian soldiers were concerned for the nutritional value of the food being supplied to their men. It has been claimed that special nutritious biscuits were created and sent abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.
